Today I dug this thing out to strain noodles. It does fit in the dishwasher easy.. haha I have used it to make spatzle with.. push the batter through into boiling water..
But mostly it's collecting dust.

Well, it appealed to you at the time.
And might work good with the right sized pot.
I just grab one of two different colunders when straining.

It fits smallish 2 qts up to a 5 qt so far..
Just easier to wash than a collonder

Funny my wife likes those. I just put a strainer in the sink and dump the pasta put the pot back on the stove, add the sauce to the pot then cool the pasta while the sauce heats up. Less to clean up is always good.

Gosh we have drawers full of kitchen gadgets, some of them have never been used.
I bought a little gizmo for making cheese straws about 2 years ago & still haven't used it.
I need to go thru all that stuff & start to use some of it. I'm a real sucker for any new gadget that comes out on the market.

Well, curious George here had to go look that one up.
I could see how that could work for that Johnny.

I'm just wondering what a straw made out of cheese would be used? Do you fill it with something tasty and serve like an horderve?

My mom took various gourmet cooking classes and I still have a bunch of stuff that was used only once or twice for some particular recipe.
